Truth Merchants

As you may or may not know, the TruthMerchants also maintain the website - dearyou.today.com.  Dear You is a space where we write letters to people who need to hear some things.  It works well.  It’s cathartic for us and necessary (and hopefully helpful) for them.

I.M. Haight wrote a letter to Day 26 just last week…

I think they’ll need more than that to cure what ails them (bitchassness) — but it was certainly nice of him to try, right???

Well after several weeks in existence, we’ve received several submissions from readers asking that we post their “Dear You” letters on the site.

So we are.

I’m sure there are plenty of people our readers need to set straight.  Send your submissions to dearyou@truthmerchants.com and we’ll get them posted ASAP.  Write a letter to ANYONE you feel needs to hear what you’ve gotta say.  From the co-worker next to you — to the lady at the drive-thru — to John McCain — to Lil Wayne.

Here’s one received this morning written to Tom Brady:

Dear Tom Brady,

I never really liked you.

Not once.

Not ever.

But when I started this fantasy football league I thought I’d be stupid to not pick you up.  Oh how wrong I was.  Thank you for stepping up to the plate and showing me that your knee doesn’t bend both ways.  While we’re at it, let’s talk about how much your front line hates you, because while they let you eat shit, your back up seemed to do just fine. How dare you not take into consideration my fantasy season.

Now I’m officially screwed.

Ah, bygones.  Enjoy your season on the bench you bastard.

Much Love…
